ya that thing looks great! totally outrageous, and hilarious to be coming out at times like these. But I'm down, very bold move. I wanna see Top Gear put this thing up against a Bowler Nemesis in another one of their Britain vs the Colonies things...

Do we need to start a IRS vs SRA debate on this vehicle?

I am not much of a truck guy but i am in love with that vehicle.

I love the grille. Reminds me of the Bronco concept from a few years back.

In a way, the Raptor makes more sense than a Lightning. There seem to be a lot more people who are into 4x4s and off-roading their trucks than those who are into road race suspension equipped trucks. So a truck with suspension modified for off-roading makes sense. At least in my corner of the world, anyway.

The 2009 F-150 just got released. This is a 2010. The 2010 was going to get the 6.2L.

The truck is getting mixed reactions from what I've seen. Some wish it was a Lightning, and others are happy that it's a "real performance" truck and not a truck trying to be a Mustang.
